# ZendWallet > Smart finance from Africa to the world securely ZendWallet is a custodial crypto platform for individuals and businesses in Africa. It lets users deposit, swap, and withdraw cryptocurrencies and make cross-border payments using stablecoins. ZendWallet is a crypto exchange and stablecoin payments company built for individuals and businesses in Africa. It lets people deposit, swap, and withdraw digital assets and convert them to local currency, while businesses use stablecoins to pay suppliers abroad in major fiat currencies. The service is custodial and focused on cross-border trade and everyday payments across the continent. Individuals fund an account with crypto, swap between assets, and sell stablecoins for local currency paid out to a bank account. Businesses fund international transfers with stablecoins, and ZendWallet settles them as bank payments to the recipient's account. Every account goes through identity checks, and business payments also require company verification and an invoice for each transfer. The offering is split into Zend Personal, the mobile app for individual users, and Zend Business, the cross-border payment platform built on ZendFX. Business accounts add team roles that let directors and finance staff review, approve, and track payments from one dashboard. ZendWallet is used by individuals, importers and exporters, and companies across Africa that move money between crypto and the banking system. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/zendwallet ## Products - [Zend Personal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/zendwallet): Zend Personal is a custodial crypto on/off ramp and exchange app for individual users across Africa.
